Circus Act were a 3 peice from Southampton who played their own style of rocking melodic hardcore. They were often compared to bands such as Hot Water Music, Fugazi and Braid although they didn't really sound like any of them. They released two CD's on Milliepeed records; "No History, No Consequences" and "This Is Your Destination", and most recently, "Sleepwalking the Tightrope" on Nothing to Prove Records, probably the best record of their career. They split up in 2007 causing universal distress and unhappiness.

Livin' Joy is a house music group from Italy who released two successful dance hits in the nineties. In 1994, fronted by American lead singer Janice Robinson, they hit number one on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart with "Dreamer." The song turned out to be a mild sleeper hit on pop radio, finally entering the Hot 100 in early 1995. It peaked at number 72 and spent seventeen weeks on the chart. The song had a more successful run on the Official UK singles charts, hitting the number one spot after being re-issued (its original run in late 1994 had taken it to #18).
